MULLET MADJACK

## What I Liked - Gameplay feels fantastic and the flow you reach with the speed works extremely well. - The weapons are so fun and varied. Had a great time with each one. - The upgrades really change the run, but you don't need them to complete it. - Music and visuals nail the theme the game is trying to nail. - The 'one-liners' when you enter the floor are hilarious for the absurdity of hearing such good life advice. ## What I Didn't Like - Honestly not much. Had a crash happen while on an endless run, but I can't entirely blame that on the game. - There are a handful of upgrades that are in my opinion, completely useless. Feels bad when your store is full of those instead of something fun. ## Gameplay This is where the game is going to exceed. The movement feels super fluid and you are given enough tools to help keep that speed moving without being punished for a single mistake. There were floors I first started and got massacred on, but I'm left with the impression that my own mistakes are what got me there. It never feels unfair despite the high difficulty. Which is actually worth mentioning that I chose one of the harder difficulties, but there are a ton of options that let you tune it in how you want it. ## Graphics & Sound The stylized graphics for this are very smooth and one the enemies designs help you recognize them even while you are moving so fast. There are tons of other little touches that I think sell the 80's Anime aesthetic more, but the stand out to me is the glitch effects that happen. Something about how fluid those look just appeals to me at a fundamental level. Of note, the soundtrack is super solid and it keeps pace with the gameplay. ## Would I Recommend It? Yes! ### Who Should Skip It If you don't like the idea of a run based level, even though there are difficulties that remove some roguelike elements, it probably isn't going to appeal to you as the game feels like it is supposed to be played like that. ## PC Spec CPU: i7-14700K Memory: 32GB Video Card: RTX 3080 Storage Type: NVMe Monitor resolution: 5120x1440 (this game does not fill the screen for this resolution)
